Hey All:

Due to an unexpected need in the family Tues night, I was unable to
monitor for Graham until after 02:00 UTC. Condx were horrible, with
500 Hz filters the lightning static from approaching storms was 
peaking around S-9, Plus Graham sent me an email saying his amp's
VSWR circuit tripped at abt 03:00 UTC dropping him down abt 14dB.
I did notice that Dave Riley - XSH/17 managed to get him around
00:00 UTC or so with a weak but nonetheless copied signal. I 
suppose being farther North, and a lot closer to the Atlantic does
have it's benefits for reception. Congratulations Dave on catching
Graham, I'll try agn on another day !!  73 everybody:
